Rinne is substantial better than Howard, so it really doesn't matter about luck, but that helps.

We can play the what if game about this particular series, or we can continue to believe that the best talent will win out. And Rinne is the best talent.If Franzen's shot goes in, it's a completely different game. Nashville wouldn't be turtling in their zone; you'd see more flow and action because Nashville would be trying to lead a charge to break the tie. Emmerton's shot probably wouldn't have happened. That shot isn't a function of luck either. It's a function of good team defense.

Dominik Hasek was the best goalie ever. Pekka Rinne is the best goalie in these playoffs right now and he's much better than Jimmy Howard, no offense to Howard of course. Alex I am sorry about your Penguins. I remember a time when MA used to be an elite goalie but he can't be allowed to keep that title after this series. I think I could probably play better than him at this point. Put me in coach!
There have been plenty of dirty plays that were let go so far this post season but this has to take the cake. Why make the save when you can just punch the guy in the face and pick up the puck while he's on the ice? For anyone wondering punching a player in the head with your glove/blocker is supposed to be an automatic match penalty but Tim Thomas typically get's away with anything. Scummiest goalie in the league on one of the scummier teams in the league. Oh by the way, Backstrom has a concussion history and there have been a questionable amount of hits to this head by the Bruins this post season.

LOLFTFY? Little things like that happen it' part of protecting the goalie. Thomas on the other hand. Scummy.
Well glad the goalie's finally decided to show up in game 5. kinda bummed though. Was really hoping they'd break the goals-in-a-series record but they need 19 in potentially 2 games and it appears the goalies actually figured out how to stop a puck.
I was there and I was glad I didn't have to hold my breath every time the puck was in the defensive zone.
